Photopost vbGallery to Photopost Pro Import Script

[Chuck S]

This script was written many years ago for a specific purpose when we first obtained vbGallery. That purpose has long since passed and the licensing to the products was merged into one license and new customers can choose what product they want to run.

It was never a script released and supported by the company. I have no plans to develop or support this script. As noted it is released as is. This is a three and a half year old script.

Thanks Chuck
I have news:
i tried on my test installation of vBGallery and Photopost Pro on my NAS.....and works at 90%....
The connection with DB is perfect, the script works ( vBGallery 3.0.1 and Photopost 7.1 )...only problem is that the original files not are in data folder!
Can you see please ? A community photo gallery - My Photo Gallery
Why on my NAS the script works almost perfect and on my live site the connection to DB not works? argh......
Thanks Chuck
Antonio

You will probally have to look at the script but no doubt it probally isnt coded to copy an original image which is optional in vbgallery. In vbGallery there is a thumbnail and a main image. In Pro there is a thumbnail and the the main image. Mediums are optional in Pro.

This old importer is probally only coded to pull the thumbnail and main image.

Just trying this and when I am on vbag.php and go to enter my server path info for Server Path to vbag Data Directory and Server Path to Photopost Data Directory it doesn't seem to take my pasted info.

Is there a character limit set somewhere? Looks to be about 50, unfortunately my server paths are around 80 characters.

You would have to alter the maxlength settings for the input boxes on the script from 50 to 100

Chak could you please confirm, that it is possible or not possible import from vbGallery to PHOTOPOST?
I am pretty much sick and tired using third parties software for my site. At the moment my site is offline koz vbgallery(photopost) is not working properly.
May be you should dedicate your self to ksenoforums and refund vBulletin owners?

[Chuck S]

This little utility should work to transfer content as it states from vbgallery to Pro.

Unless your a software developer you will always use third party software for your site. If you have an issue with vbGallery you might want to post on the support forums about the issue.

Does this utility work for vBGallery 2.52, 3.01 and Photopost 8.03?

[Chuck S]

to my knowledge it should work it is not tied to vbulletin in any way it is an external script that queries database tables and copies things over into the photopost database and moving vbgallery files to the proper structure in photopost.
